CAUTION
In the event of a power outage, restricted drain or
pump failure, the failure to use the U-Line P60 drain
pump or a pump with the above listed
specifications, could result in substantial water
leakage and pooling with severe and costly water
damage and related consequential damages and
harm.
Water Supply Connection
When connecting the water supply, follow these
guidelines:
• Review the local plumbing codes before you install the
unit.
• Connect to the cold water supply.
• The water pressure should be between 20 and 120 psi.
• Install a shut-off valve in the 1/4 inch Outside Diameter
water supply line.
• Connect sufficient tubing to the unit so that tubing
may be looped, allowing the unit to be removed for
cleaning and servicing (see Figure 40). However, make
certain that the tubing is not pinched or damaged
during installation.
NOTE: U-Line recommends the use of copper
tubing for installation. The use of other types of
tubing is not recommended due to potential aftertaste
and deterioration over time.
To connect to water supply:
1. Install the 1/4 inch Outside Diameter copper water line
from the main water source (see Figure 38).
Figure 38
2. Locate the compression fitting and ferrule packed with
the unit. Slide the compression fitting and ferrule over
the 1/4-inch Outside Diameter water supply line. Do not
use thread sealing compound or tape. Using two
wrenches, tighten the compression fitting on the supply
line (see Figure 39).
Figure 39
3. Carefully bend the water supply line into position and
connect the line to the solenoid valve (see Figure 40).
Avoid kinking the water supply line.

IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
Normal operation creates some vibration. A water
supply line contacting cabinet wall may cause
excessive noise during operation or damage to the
line.
4. For recessed installations, allow extra water supply line
length to provide slack for easy removal from the
recessed area (see Figure 40). This will also safeguard
against kinking the line.
